The circle is almost complete when it comes to Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium's bowl with work taking place rapidly to finish construction on the £850m ground.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said last week that the new stadium would be finished in time for the start of the 2018/19 Premier League season which begins in August this year.

There is the added pressure of being ready on time because the stadium will hold its first NFL game - as part of a ten-year agreement - when the Seattle Seahawks play the Oakland Raiders in Tottenham on October 14.

The latest images on Thursday morning taken on the stadium construction site's live feed camera cranes show that the outer bowl of the new stadium is almost joined up, with the east and west stands soon to be connected to the south stand higher up.

On Wednesday night workmen took delivery of another tray which will slide the new pitch in and out at the state-of-the-art new £850m stadium. The first was delivered on Tuesday night.

The innovative pitch is the reason Spurs were able to convince the NFL that American football and British football could be played together not only at the same stadium, but on the same day.

Sheffield engineering specialist SCX is supplying the football pitch which will sit directly above an artificial surface for the NFL matches. The removable pitch will split into three sections before retracting underneath the south stand.

They will eventually be fitted together into three enormous pitch-wide sections which will then hold the turf and divide when needed to store away under that giant 17,000-seater single-tier south stand.

Here is a video, shot from a drone in the air, that shows, side by side, just how quickly the stadium has moved on in the last month alone.
